- In Russia, we a lot of abandoned buildings. Mostly this is constructions that were started just before the fall of the USSR and since that time have never been continued. And while it's not really safe to walk there, let's agree that they have their own charm. Generations were growing up in this places. Why to build modern playgrounds when we have this! So I this video I will share with you my favorite abandoned buildings of Spassk, and try to ask local people about their history. Let's go!

About myself
Hi! My name is Natasha, I live in the Far East of Russia in the city of Khabarovsk, but originally I'm from a small town Spassk-Dalny in Primorsky Krai. Currently I'm studying Linguistics in the university. On this channel I make videos about life in Russia, our traditions and my traveling in Russian cities. Welcome, and let's explore Russia together! #yeahrussia
We will not forget you during this weird times. Keep on with your channel and never stop learning ☮️🌺♥️
Vee vill not forget.. err, vere is my tea??? Hahaha
This poor white kid, so much opportunity is da Soviet union.. remember, some are more equal than others
She already ban to post any content
Lol why is she going to die
@@_aponak4716 really
People need to stop asking her to comment on the international situation. She is not responsible for that, nor can she safely comment on it. Let her make her content and keep the politics out of it.
You`ve got it!!!
Exactly. It’s not her fault.
I've seen the news where Russian police was dragging a woman screaming because she was protesting the war. It's obvi not safe for make her make a comment at the moment. (Or she does'nt want to talk politics) which is also fair.
Well said, Rick.
The sheer lack of brains of those asking for comment from Natasha beggars belief. I suspect they are from the lower echelons of society, "nice" people whose careless ignorance is all about themselves and their stupidity. They don't stop to consider anyone who is in danger; their's is the cosy little world of indifference to the plight of others as long as their sanctimony is paraded for all to see.
The you tube video: "Russia is split in two / Cancel Culture Introduced" Inside Russia - the blogger for this video. Natasha's been targeted by Russian authorities according to this Inside Russia's information. Her live stream has been shut down as well as the same with other Russian bloggers. At the 1:04 mark, he starts to give more information on her situation. I did not see the whole video and he could make further referrals to her in these later content areas of his video. He states her situation could get serious yet he has no knowledge of her status or situation. I pray hopefully all will go well for her. Praying for Natasha!
All we can do at a time like this is hope that Natasha is safe. This situation is hard for civilians on both sides. Sending good thoughts and hoping Natasha can communicate with us in the rest of the world soon. ❤️
hard on both sides?? One can't use Apple pay and the other is being bombed and shot! Big difference
@@stevefletcher2334 Neither set of civilians asked to be in this situation. And both are being unfairly disadvantaged because of a crazy person. And just because Russian civilians don’t necessarily have to fear for their lives right now, in the long-term their lives could end up very grim.
I feel bad for both because neither asked for this nor wants it… generally speaking anyway, and as far as we can figure at this point.
@@stevefletcher2334 Yeah, really easy life in Russia. The rouble's collapsed and stock market closed. You don't need to protest about the war, just call it a war, and you could end up in prison. And no access to impartial news. So, nothing to see there.
Of course no one is saying Russians are in the same situation as Ukraine, but they are living under a repressive regime.
I suspect Natasha is lying low, so not posting videos - in fact CZcams is probably blocked in Russia anyway.
@@rogink false equivalency. Yeah, life in Russia probably sucks...but they aren't being MURDERED daily! Shot, killed, burned and bombed. Big fucking difference. You minimize the horror of Ukraine by saying, yeah, Russians have it hard, too.
@@stevefletcher2334 With respect, I don't think the intent was to draw an equivalency. Of course being bombed out of your homeland is unequivocally terrible. However, many Russian citizens are being arrested/disappeared for saying precisely that. They face arrest for simply standing next to a poster in a photograph which advocates for equal rights for goodness' sake, or for wearing the wrong T shirt! It is okay to express empathy for those people whilst still acknowledging the horror experienced by people in the Ukraine. The common thread is Putin and his regime.
A hug from The Netherlands. I hope you and your loved ones are well and get through this horrible time. And it is obviously not your fault! In fact videos like yours of your beautiful country and people help reminding that war and politics are not who people are.
Can't agree with you more!
💗💓🥰😘
Hey Natasha, hope you are ok. Stay safe ~
We love you and your videos Natascha, we know you are not responsible for what is happening. Stay safe - from Europe
Last year with no place left to turn I prayed to God in repentance then begged for help with all my heart, "I was until then a lifelong Atheist."
I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed because I've never read the bible", and the love I felt from Jesus was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of joy every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life forever.
I've had other miracles since, a few being a light turning on in answer to deeply needful prayer 6 times, seeing a orb of light hours before a major surgery, seeing an Angel in a dream the night my mother prayed for me to see one, "Without telling me", and so much more.
Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they love us deeply.
Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you love and forgive them and do your best to follow, "I've failed many times", the 10 commandments.
@@narsakucanada154 ok
You are correct Natasha is not to blame but I dont think many Russians know their country is at war with Ukraine. Nice content!
@@Randomstuffs261 😂😂 wtf is wrong with that guy
@@Mr.mysterious76 he went nuts!
I hope you are OK. I remember you said your family is originally from Ukraine. This must be difficult times for you all. Looking forward to seeing your next video on CZcams, hopefully not too far into the future.
Me too…very concerning is that her Instagram seems to have gotten deleted. :(
The young folk of Russia are clued up on the facts by various means and not swayed by Kremlin propaganda. The young Russians who have protested are very brave .
To have the same President Forever and he still has at least 24 years to go .What could go wrong ? They way this so called army is going about with the naZi Z shit and the targeting of Schools and Hospitals is madness .They really want to kill Every single Ukrainian and this will likely go on for months .UK and US must attack Russia to kill as many Russians as possible is the only way out and it will be within hours .The military of Russia is a joke and the conscripts make it so .
@@michaelcorbidge7914 Said while clearly taken by CNN propaganda. Nulan and co are behind this disaster, and they never cared about the consequences, nothing brave about spending Ukraine down to their last man over ideology and corruption.
@Schwaiger Trusting western systems is a mistake.
@@sanriosonderweg Whomever is paying you to post this nonsense needs to get their money back. Not only is your English terrible and propaganda worse. Ukrainians are dying because the large incompetent military from its neighbor invaded it at the whim of and man whom has damaged his own nation and caused the deaths of thousands.
Natasha is safe and well.And communicating to friends. She will be making video soon( when ready).. She is complying to all laws and making sure she wont get into trouble.. OK. Put yourself into her position.. So many lovely comments.. Watch her youtube friends for more info.
Nobody has anything close to the content you provide. You provide the REAL Russia not just Moscow and few other big cities. Your videos are fascinating. Just be careful in those abandoned buildings that you don't step on something sharp that is hidden. Sadly, urban decay exists all around the world. In America we have a large area called the "rust belt" that is full of abandoned buildings due to industry moving overseas. Love your channel!!!
Agreed. The second I see a new video of hers I click on it
She's cool and there is also this guy BaldandBankrupt he is a real sovjet expert
@@hghghghghghghghghgh1 they should meet up and do a video somewhere!

Uh, no. He’s kind of a pervert.
@@nole8923 What is wrong with you?
Drone, small talk with random people, ominous music in the background, horror-like zoom shots
Absolutelly brilliant :)
Yes Natasha is my favorite Russian Girl. The USA misses her she is brilliant
North America doesn't miss her, instead they like info about Russia.
I miss her 😢
Russia is such a cool country. Pity about the d*ck running the place. Hope you are ok.
...almost prophetic in fact 💚💖🥲....
I just wanted to say thank you Natasha cause even though I haven’t commented before you genuinely made me really curious about Russian culture and its beautiful people for the first time! Since then I’ve watched so many different CZcamsrs, learned about different foods, people’s stories… And how similar we all really are when you get to the heart of it. I know these are hard times for ordinary people in all countries and I hope peace returns to Ukraine, Russia and the whole world soon. 😔 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇷🇺
All we can do at a time like this is hope that Natasha is safe. This situation is hard for civilians on both sides
I find the far eastern cities of Russia more interesting than the glitter of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Thanks for keeping it real...
Thank you for changing the name of your channel. We got the message. Even though its hard for you and all people living in Russia to speak openly, the world and especially your government needs to hear your opinion on what's happening.
I also appreciate it. But it's time, their own people, take a stance against the madness of their own leader. People is dying. Changing a channel name is not enough.
@@diniciacci -she's a kid, the age of my daughter. What do you want her to do?
How r they going to hear it ??? Don't u know Russia has a stand alone internet , I'm sure the man did pull the plug on the outside world
No, the Internet in Russia is strongly censored, but it is (still) available. The main issue for me is a payed army of trolls trying to make it look like the people of Russia are with Putin. I strongly doubt it. I would really appreciate if we, who not live there, would continue to communicate with people in Russia and encourage them to speak out "stop the war". I know that even these words already created a lot of trouble to many Russians. But they cannot arrest everyone!
@@timothygormley1305 she's been to University, she's no longer a "kid".
She's the same age as most Russian soldiers in or near Ukraine and Russians her age who don't like what Putin is doing have as much voice to take action to enact the opposite affect of what Putin is attempting.
Right now it's about good vs evil which will require change and a youtube channel that continues pumping out the virtues of Russia is nothing more that propaganda. Conversely a youtube channel from russia that actually reports on atrocities being committed in Ukraine helps circumvent the controlled putin propaganda currently being fed to Russians.
It would be disingenuous to those who've died and world for that matter for any channel like this to only show russia in a good light.
Sending you much love, Natasha. Just in case we don't see you again thank you for all your very interesting videos. We are one earth, one human race. Peace to planet earth 🌎
I pray for Natasha every day. Subscriber from Poland
I want to tell you, I still love you and don't think any less of you with the war going on. I with you only the best and hope you will still post videos. A fan from the USA.
We do have such buildings in France too, mostly disused factories (mills, plants, slaughterhouses, fondries...) abandoned castles, prisons, bunkers on the Atlantic coast,... I find it always immensely rewarding to visit such places, and there is an atmosphere you can't find elsewhere! Thanks for the video!
Is it allowed to walk there? For some reason it seems to me that such places in Europe are guarded by security...
I have been in the north. There are still many remains of the war. Old ruins with bullet holes, failed bombs and grenades everywhere. Some places are closed to public because of explosion risk.
@@NatashasAdventures In Germany there are tons of such places and they are not guarded. I have been to many abandoned buildings in Germany, you just gotta be careful because you might fall through a hole or step on something plus there are still bombs from the world wars in some areas that might go off, so sometimes the military will put up signs that say to not cross a certain forest etc but nobody is actually guarding it.
@@ag4444 good to know, thanks :D
@@NatashasAdventures Not always :^) There are sentries sometimes... Once I almost stumbled on militaries doing maneuvers, near Cholet... Otherwise, many are left without proper security :) I'll always remember a visit to the Grands Moulins de Paris, in Marquette-lez-Lille, near Lille :) Gigantic flour mills, 7 stories high, from memory :)
Stay safe Natasha, don't end up in jail. We will be here in the future for you.
Stay safe Natasha!
I seen the channel name changed and got a little worried. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your adventures over the past year. I subscribed to various channels from all over the globe to take virtual vacations during the pandemic. The one thing I could take away from all of these videos is everyone seems to be the same. It's just a bunch of good people. My previous misconceptions and prejudice about people their countries seem to have faded away. I know you are probably taking flack over recent events but don't worry. People aren't thinking and just need to vent. Be proud of your channel and keep doing what you need to.
Great comment. There are only two types of people in the world, either decent or not, Natasha is the former IMHO.
I came here today to say something very similar. Keep up the good work Natasha. We know (partly because of your videos) that president of Russia isn't representing the views of every day Russians like yourself. His actions do not cast you in a bad light, only himself.
Agreed. Natasha shows us the humanity in this part of the world. We are blessed to have kind
people like her, Konstantin (Inside Russia), and Ben (Bald and Bankrupt) connecting us with ordinary citizens across Russia.
Name of channel has changed because word russia nowdays means the worste curse.
Natasha is probably protesting the Ukraine war.Hope she doesn’t get in trouble because I love her.
Support you from Canada - thank you for your honesty - citizens do not always agree with government decisions, i am very sorry that your government has made such a harmful choice to attack Ukraine. The world understand that not all Russians support its government. Stay safe we need voices like yours to continue.
@Ned B Putin has put himself into a corner. On TV he looks unhinged and distant.
@@user-xp5hc6us2i There is only one Nazi in this scenario
Not a single russian support their dictator. They are just terrified of him!! Btw are the truckers going back home yet there or not? I have to come there and enter trucking school.
@@Andy-P The west have bombed and attacked innocent people in Iraq so get off your high horse mate .
@Ned B Agreed. It is a world of grey. Putin would of got away of incorporating the breakaway republics into Russia and stuffing them with artillery to counter anything the Ukranians did. Even enlarging those area's a little. But looking to take the whole country, the largest in Europe, and impose a Government he controls is too far. America told Ukraine the limits of it's help before the conflict. NATO will not confront Russia in Ukraine so Ukraine may have to be pragmatic at some point.... if it can be.
stay safe mate, things must be pretty weird for you right now, and you may not feel comfortable or safe expressing your feelings regarding the current situation, and you dont have to say anything at all when you post next. We know your pretty cool. stay safe!
My thoughts are with you and all the innocent people in Russia that are caught in the horrible events unfolding in the East. I hope you stay safe and that sanity is restored soon for all of us.
There are no innocent people in Russia, they are all complicit in the destruction.
It will be difficilt for russian based vloggers to comment on ukraine situation. i imagine they are under heavy censorship right now.
Thank you for your stand with humanity, Natasha. We are proud of you!
Hope you are ok Natasha. I'm so sorry for all the unkind comments that people are sending your way for something you had no control over. Just know that most people don't think that way.
Hope you’re ok kid
@Paul Smith, as of about a week ago she seemed to be okay. Made a post on Feb 27th on one of her other SM.
I dont see a single unkind comment
Where are the unkind comments, other than in your imagination?
@@chiane1968 There were many very hostile comments when I left my comment. It's hardly surprising that Natasha wouldn't just leave those sorts of comments up so I imagine those sorts of comments got deleted by Natasha.
I can't see the same comments now including some of the 1s I responded to. They were Saying things as basic as "murderer" to others saying this was a Russian propaganda channel. Some saying they would be unsubscribing over the situation. So no they weren't in my imagination. And it wasn't just a handful..... it was about 1 out of every 3 messages or so that were like that. You didn't even need to scroll down to find them when I made the comment.
I really hope that she's doing okay. I hope too that this won't be her last video here on youtube. Love all of her videos.
I live in Southwest Germany and most abandoned buildings there are foundries, steelworks, and coal mines. Mostly inside it looks as if the workers have just left. Some have still security.
Older people are sad because they have lost their jobs there, the younger ones know no differently.It's like history to walk around in for me.
Ich lebe auch in Südwestdeutschland 😉
Well said, and so true: "Older people are sad because they have lost their jobs there, the younger ones know no differently." I now one of those "older" people have just withdrawn from all the hoping and wishing that I had instilled into me as a child by the societies at large. I think now that I better for doing so... I feeling much more stable psychologically and emotionally. However, just ten-ish years ago I was living in and around Youngstown in the State of Ohio, many of the older 'Rust Belt" building had been repurposed to modern-ish industry shelters. Notice by me recently is that as the current old, San Francisco, is loosing its populous, Sacramento is booming in housing. I had no say in it happening, and that is disheartening to me... as some might say, it is saddening to this "old" man. It all plays out again and again, does it not?
Natasha, I am sure that you and many others in your wonderful country are against that awful situation. Please stay healthy! You, your family and all your friends stay healthy and safe. much love. I care, others also and for sure we will support you further! Promise. Andrim from Germany (Northmacedonia)
Nobody likes a war. The US is responsible for the crisis in Ukraine, and for every death that comes of it, plus the right wing nationalist in Ukraine who have been killing people in Donbas for eight years.
@@johnsmith1474 Sure, the US and not Russia is rolling in with miles upon miles of killing equipment…. Do you actually hear yourself talk… blind too?
Natasha said herself that the majority support the government but a lot of them probably have no idea what's really happening. Either way, it's so much needless suffering and a tragedy of unimaginable proportions.
Thinking of you, Natasha. Please stay safe.
Hello from the 🇺🇸 USA 👋🏻. Your channel was suggested to me and the first video I watched was in regard to Americans and their "smiles" & "small talk". I found it amusing and interesting to hear your perspective about both sides.
Your English is great and I have enjoyed your humor. You're very beautiful as well. I have a love and fascination with architecture and old buildings (including tags/graffiti). I love to see churches and cemeteries outside of the U.S. I really like seeing the history that makes Russia what it is/ has become.
I feel our country is rather boring other than perhaps the nature you find in various states. I'm from Northern Utah- closer to places like Las Vegas, Nevada and California if you need some familiarity as to what region of the US that is.
I subscribed after the 2nd video I watched because I very much enjoy your personality and how you explain things/ show us your perspective of the USA and Russia. I'm glad you were able to come visit our country. I've always had a fondness of Russians (and other cultures). It's difficult to say I would like to visit at this very moment considering what is taking place, but for years I definitely imagined how amazing it would be to visit the vastly varying areas of Russia and getting to know and understand Russian life and people better.
Please keep making videos if you are able and of course I wish you safety.
🕊❤🕯💪🏻Peace, Love, Light, Strength, and Safety to 🇷🇺 Russia, 🇺🇦 Ukrainians, and everyone affected by the so-called "Special Operations" thanks to Putin. *Know that the majority of the World is concerned for both Russia and Ukraine.* We know the people of Russia are not their "leader". Very glad your channel was recommended to me. I wish I knew you personally. You have a great personality. Take care 🤍
Seeing posts disappear from the Community section is concerning. Hope you're safe Natasha.
You know.. I didn’t really like my country. I live in Japan and it seems to me that Japan is really a depressing country and people here are also depressed from harsh working conditions. I wanted to get out of this country as soon as possible. But thanks to your videos and your positivity, I started find something cool in my neighborhood as well as my country. There are many museums or historical temples I can visit and there is food that I wouldn’t get if I lived in other countries. Thanks to you I now can find little happiness in my country KEEP UP WITH YOUR GOOD WORK!!
Watching Abroad in Japan should also help you feel better about where you are. There's a lot of cool stuff in Japan.
I live in Vietnam and i love both Japan and Russia !
Natascha.Sending good wishes to you from Australia.Be well lovely lady.Thankyou for the last couple of years for showing us your lovely country
Hope you're staying safe. My students and I are looking forward to your commentary upon your return.
Hi Natasha, we know you and your situation. no need to proof anything. Stay safe.
I loved exploring abandoned buildings as a kid. It's more exciting than a playground.
Running "rogue" as kids used to do more often is one of the best activities for young (or old) brains. Better than a playground, better than TV, and most of the time, better than computers.
And more dangerous.
yup we did it all the time as kids :D
granted there wasnt that many abandoned buildings, since we were in a village... but we had a lot of old german ww2 bunkers and tunnels to explore (which is even more fun) since the place was fortified because of supply line railroad went trough.
Hey Natasha, really miss your videos. You might be receiving hateful messages/comments, but I just want you to know that all your real supporters know that you dont support what Russia is doing. You don't have to speak on it. We understand and we know that not all Russian people believe support Russia during these times. I'm American and I love my fellow Russians. No hate, all love, and i hope you're doing well during these crazy times. take care!
p.s. don't listen to the negative comments/messages you might be receiving.
Love you Natasha! Russia is a beautiful place with a beautiful heritage and culture. Do your best in these times! You are beautiful!
you make me want to visit spaask you should be a tour guide , your town is lucky to have you , best wishes from uk

Natasha, many people around the world love you and what you do. I hate all the xenophobia directed at Russians. Please know you are cared about. Is there any way we can help? Hugs.
We love you and miss your videos!
I've always found abandoned buildings to be eerily fascinating, especially old abandoned governmental buildings for some reason
Try wandering through an old mental hospital at night for eeriness.
In countries like Kazakhstan, Moldova and Belarus you can find these soviet abandoned buildings almost everywhere, while Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia have gotten rid of almost all of it.
Did they demolish them or turned into something else?
I don't really know, they might have turned a few of them into something else.
The Balts all got given shedloads of EU money, and they had to spend it on something. I'm told Kaliningrad has tonnes of them, not just Soviet ones, but German ones too.
I think there are still a lot left in Baltics, there are a lot of videos exploring huge abandoned soviet plants and factories, and even schools there. Some plants like have an enormous amount of their production just laying ready-to use in vast underground storages, soviet cars abandoned in garages etc.
I saw it on Покинутый Мир channel
@@NatashasAdventures Because price of land increases most huge buildings and old factories are demolished, the left material are reused to construct roads or other construction. Some buildings are preserved but only that are registered as heritage. Residential buildings can received public funds for renovation, but because funding is partial and residents must paid rest process is a bit slow.
Hi Natasha, thank you for everything you've shared with us, including your perspectives. I'd like to echo what many others have already said: that we hope you are safe, we understand if you can't post right now, and we hope that global affairs improve soon. When it is safe to resume posting videos, we all look forward to hearing what you have to say.
Thank you for all the work you've done to show us what it's like in your part of the world. I've enjoyed watching and I hope that your channel continues!
Very interesting Natasha. Thank you for being adventurous enough to bring these cultural insights to us. Your sardonic humour is always a winner. The only abandoned buildings near my small town (population 5,000) in rural South Australia are a few old farm houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and an old cricket change rooms at a sports field that hasn't been used for 50 years.
Interesting! When I imagine such places I think how cool would it be to film movies or music videos there :)
She is quietly sardonic, isn't she?
Ohh mate, in Brizzy there is an abandoned leprocy quarantine town on an island :D But the best UE place on the east coast is the South Molle Island at the Whitsundays, there is a spa resort there that got spanked by Cyclone Debbie and its just catching dust ever since.
In Perth it is the CBD after 6pm.
@@gregw988 Stop it (lol) Perth's lovely - most CBD's get abandoned after dark - the nightlife in Perth is in Northbridge - big cities are pretty much all alike.
I just saw your post on Instagram. That took a lot of guts to post it. I applaud you and hope you stay safe. Russia needs more kind hearted people like you 😘🍀✌️
Yeah it was, I was shocked she had the balls to use the hashtag
It's not your fault Natasha. I enjoyed watching your channel and still do.
My family and I wish you the best during these crazy times. We love your videos!
Please do not feel pressured to speak out! You need to do what you need to to feel safe and if speaking about the situation puts you at any risk please don't! We will be here when you are ready to share videos again! You are not your government and you don't need to answer for it! Please take care! 💕
There is a law, currently in deliberation I believe, that will sentence people for 15 years if they spread "fake news" about the Russian military.
@@veggiedisease123 Fake news, like claiming Ukraine is being invaded or that a war is taking place with good, innocent people being bombed? In the free world, we call that real news, not fake. In other words, people will be sent off to gulags, again, for speaking truth to power and Russia will soon have need of another Solzhenitsyn.
Putin started his post-KGB career by stealing about a $100 Million from the food bank he was in charge of, intended to feed a hungry St. Petersburg. It was his home town, too. If he didn't care about them, you can bet he won't other Russians suffering, either, any more than he does Ukrainians.
He's a monster who will never be welcome anywhere again in the free world. But he's always his $Billion palace to retreat to, I suppose, for consolation, assuming he's not bumped off from within to save Russia.
Take care of you. Best regards Damien from Sweden. So sad everything thats going on and I hope you are ok.
hey hope you’re well. always enjoyed your perspective and the glimpses into your amazing country. looking forward to more vids
Hoping and praying you are safe during these challenging times. You are a lovely young person, and I have enjoyed learning from your videos.
In Western Canada you wouldn't find as many derelict factory buildings in one area because they'd usually be knocked down sooner than those buildings. Then again there wasn't as much manufacturing here. Also, wherever there are boys chipping ice or throwing snowballs there is hope.
All our support for you, Natasha!! We hope, you can sustain your truely liberal and peaceful message. Stay strong!!❤☮
Natasha, I hope you are ok! Thank you for your amazing work. Stay safe.
I hope that you are safe and well. Always enjoy your vlogs and I know you have a good heart.
You are a lovely person. Do not feel personally responsible for this, you and you're generation are the future of a peace loving Russia.
The sad thing is that a good portion of that generation is currently dying fighting in a pointless war while the old men in charge just sit in their castles overlooking the destruction.
When you stepped on this frozen river I was really worried about you Natasha. Be careful , and take care of yourself ! Thanks for the video, and many greetings, from Mica
Natasha if you are getting hate messages, don´t worry, just keep posting. We love you. Take care.
I hope you are well Natascha. I also hope to see more of your adventures when the world stops being crazy. You take good care and stay safe.
Hello everybody I know for sure that Natasha has been prevented from vloging (info from Konstantin vlog): apparently she is not the only one in this case!! This is all very sad news but not surprising. Support to you Natasha! We all know that you don t like war! Stay safe!
We have these abandoned buildings in the USA also, especially in places that are affected by urban decay or blight, like parts of Detroit, MI and Camden, NJ. Also some shopping malls are becoming ghost malls as people switch to online shopping. As a kid I lived in a rural farming area and I would sometimes visit abandoned houses. I never knew the stories behind them.
Sometimes people think of the USA as a wealthy nation, which is not without truth, but not everyone shares in this wealth, so if you look under the facade you will find lots of poverty and decay in the USA (in some places).
Robert, you are absolutely correct about that. And one of the other serious, but not as obvious, negatives of that is how it is affecting the politics in your country. As more business abandons the wealthier nations for third world/cheaper wages, etc. that has serious implications for those of us here in the so-called wealthier nations!
@@grantfahlman1815
That’s only because too many of us vote for politicians that take corporate money and don’t represent the people
Prosperity in the US today is due in large part to the fact it can create as much of its currency as it wants, and experience few serious consequences (although inflation is starting now) -- once the rest of the world stops tolerating this money printing and finds an alternative to the USD, the US will not be so wealthy anymore
Camden NJ is basically all urban decay.
YES,,The USA Has Terrible HUGE URBAN Decay in Most USA BIG - Cities and Abandoned Homes--abandoned Factories,,,
ITS A MESS---Chicago---Philly New Jersey,,,Detroit,Baltamore,...Small Towns ruined-,Etc... 1,000"s Of Homeless Americans too.... Rising Crime !
Unemployment and Poverty and------ Thats America for GOD SAKES !!! in 2022
We hope all is well for you. Stay strong Natasha.
The carpet on the front of the car reminded me of a similar thing we did in Alabama but we used old plastic shower curtain. It prevented air thru the grill of the automobile and helped the engine warm up and stay warm when the weather was very cold.
That made me laugh, if you did that here in Queensland, Australia your car engine would overheat and crack a head gasket in about 5 minutes. 🤣
Ignore any hate, and don't feel too pressured to speak about anything. People who watch you long enough... you include your personality and views enough... that we(some of us) have a good idea what you are thinking and going through. Just stay safe and hope for the best.
to be honest, I d like to hear anything from her just so I know shes alright.
@@takaetono6773 she posted a message yesterday, but it's been deleted.
@@takaetono6773 They said the Russian government has really clamped down on social media due to the protests. I wouldn't doubt she can't access anything outside of Russia.
She is still posting on her instagram, thank god
@@guyphillips13 interesting when i goto her instagram without an account. i dont see her most recent 3 posts talking about current events.
when i login i can see the posts.
I love your videos and please don’t stop making them even though with what’s going on it would be great to see a video from you. Hope your staying safe and are ok 🙏
I have watched your channel for some time. I hope you are staying safe during these times.
These buildings are... us, especially those of us who were born and raised in the USSR 😊 Thanks for the excursion, Natasha 💗 P.S. This brought back memories of "Гостья из будущего" 😅
This got me thinking, but did you have such abandoned buildings in the Soviet childhood? Because most of these constructions were begun in the last years of the Soviet regime, and all the devastation began only in the 90's, what kind of buildings you saw then? :D
Mielofon!
you are very cool. LOVE your language videos :D
@@Alex_Gordon are you learning Russian?
I was thinking the same, we used to play in those type of buildings. Growing up in the USSR takes a special place in my heart despite the struggles. On my running channel I have recently recorded my memories about growing up in the Soviet Union as I was feeling rather nostalgic about my early years.
19:06 I love that your channel’s exposure is such that an environmental scientific team (these Hydrologists), watch it for either general interest or possibly pre-visit research 🙂 Who knows the heady heights of power these videos may reach. It’s entirely possibly that this channel may be the catalyst of great change in the next 10 years! 🤞
Nice to hear the that the “пока пока” is back, and nice ending with the drone shot 👍
Thank you ^.^ Yes, poka-poka is back :DD
@@NatashasAdventures I commented that you should always end your videos with a "poka poka". It's your mark and I believe is very important. I guess it kind of makes us stay with you beyond the end of the movie as that little clip stays on our memory.
I recall some very characteristic endings like Scott Manley with "fly safe" or April Wilkerson rotating her wrist...
@@antoniomonteiro1203 Agree! It’s definitely her trade-mark sign-off!
@@NatashasAdventures please always end the videos with poka poka!
Agreed. Who knows... Mr. ex-KGB (aka Putin) may be lurking on them and thinking about how he might be able to find a PR position for Natasha. He could use a little of that right now (or a lot)!!!
Missing your quirky travel/life log. Your unusual but sharp insights to life always make me smile, which is a priceless commodity these days.
Always enjoyed your videos of life in Russia. Thoughts are with you during these difficult times ❤️ 🇬🇧
Hi Natasha, I love your content and hope there will be a future with peace and freedom again. I guess the current situation will make your life much more difficult. Hope you stay safe.
How does it feel to live in the most hated country in the world?
@@NeverTakeNoShortcuts America???? Well not great cause ya know we have an installed Joe biden f#kking things up at every turn....... so yea
@@NeverTakeNoShortcuts What do you expect her to feel? The Russian people can't do anything for their own freedom. Now they have also to be helpless regarding the freedom of another people. Putin is doing everything to destroy the future of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples. And all Russians can do against it is to protest and to go to jail or worse.
@@kaymeinhold8568 I would hope that she would feel deep shame and a modicum of responsibility. Demonstrate against that monster. He is not a god.. Fight to remove him.
@@NeverTakeNoShortcuts Well, as German I have young German girl in mind, speaking loud against the German dictator back at the end of the fist half of the last century. I guess everyone knows she was executed for speaking her mind.
It's easy to talk about sacrifices but even the Unites Staates is holding back with sanctions against Russia. If Europa and the USA can't act why do you expect Russians to become the new Sophie Scholl?
Natasha, I wanted to come out here to say how much I love your videos. I can tell you and I'm sure you're aware from the time spent here, the average American does not hate the average Russian. Please do not think that we hold the actions of governments against the governed. I only wish the best for every Russian and that all peoples everywhere can live and speak freely. Love you girl. Good luck. Stay safe.
I hope you're okay, Natasha. Love the channel & can't wait to see you back making videos.
I miss seeing your videos, Natasha. I hope that you are okay. I worry about you, because you are such an important touchstone for those of us in the west. I feel very bad for the Russian people during these sanctions, since the people of Russia didn't cause the situation between Putin and Ukraine.
Please stay well, and post an update, we all care about you.
This feel like an episode of 'Bald' 😊 But thats what makes it really interesting. Really looking forward to seeing more historical architecture and abandoned structures from your country.
What if she made a colab with Bald that would be awesome...
@@tonij6986 Possibly. But she has a very dry sense of humour, and is quiet. While he is loud and gregarious. It might work with just the two of them. But when meeting other people he would probably take over. Still, I'd like to see them try.
Yes, she should do some urbex but go with someone to film abandoned buildings
when I saw the word "Soviet" in the headline, I was thinking of Bald too lol. they should totally do a collaboration! I was almost looking for his comments in here 😅
Do some digging on him and you will notice all is not as it seems. Look into his past, this man is shady as fuck and he's getting away with it. If you don't believe me just google bald and baldr dossier and look for the subredit.
It is interesting, how the situation is changing to the better in my hometown. Watching this video, I realized, that we have nothing to complaint about...There are almost no such buildings here now, even though there were a lot of them, when I was a teenager. We used to make photoshoots in front of them, and now there are new apartment blocks on that place, there was an abandoned building called "Moryatnik" ("A Marine building", called like this because of its round windows), where all the local rockers and goths used to spend their time, but now it is totally closed and is going to be ruined (or is ruined already), because the place where it is situated is going to be turned into the second part of the park "Razdolie" with kids' playgrounds and a water-park.. Oh! And the abandoned Soviet toilet at the embankment was turned into a restaurant! 😆😃😅
I've been in Russia Belarus and Ukraine since 1994, the amount of these buildings in 1994 compared to now it amazing. Russia has changed so much. I live in Crimea, for 25 years there were several buildings like this in Sevastopol. Since we joined Russia a lot of the building that had fallen into ruins are being restored. Right on the boardwalk of the village i live in we have a movie theater built in 1910, it's a really cool one since it has a summer theater and you could watch movies under the stars. The main theater isn't big by today's standards but it's right on the sea and is a very nice building. or was. czcams.com/video/dGQBooepLXc/video.html
After 8 years in Russia, you can't even recognize Balaklava. Now they are spending 25 billion, and completely rebuilding the bay. It'll be the best yacht marina on the black sea hands down in 2 years. czcams.com/video/I84HBzG6hpw/video.html
LONG LIVE RUSSIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your drone shots also lend a different perspective. Natasha, this is an architectural goldmine. The brutalist style with shapes and angles and the graffiti on old concrete and brick makes for beautiful abstracts. Thankyou for this.
Hi Natascha hope you are fine. You are not forgotten!
I hope you are doing well Natasha. This war is hard not only on Ukraine, but also the ordinary Russians who pay for the choices of a dictator. I hope you and your family are safe and things improve soon
The Western governments are the dictators, fool!
And actually, they are all in bed together. They LOVE to see common folk suffer. Macron, Rutte, Biden, Johnson, Putin and that Ukrainian guy as well.
@@GeertPypers I used to believe that there were governments that still gave a damn. But I’ve witnessed too much in my country and pretty much every other about how those governments (including my own) handled the COVID pandemic to still believe that any government anywhere actually has the people’s interest in mind.
@@MAFB94-01 that's one thing for sure. When bitcoin will make politicians work for you instead of themselves things will improve i hope
USA wrecked many nations we are hypocrites calling Putin evil
First of all, I like the spooky 'Stalker' vibe music you've got going on, in just the right places. I seem to remember you did some horror-like shorts a few years ago on your other channel?
Second, YES drone footage! Thank you so much.
Funny to see your tags everywhere.
I know you're not always pleased to be in Spassk, but this was a good video, also I think because of the interaction you had with other people.
Those concrete pillars btw, they look like the pillars we must use in my country (NL) to build houses on. The ground here, which is 50% under sea-level, is very soft, so these pillars are pounded into the ground by a machine until they hit a hard layer, then the buildings are built on them (oversimplified it a bit).
Yes, although I used a weak SD card and got bad quality :( I'll try to make 4k next time. Thanks for the explanation! That's what I thought, but it's confusing why these pillars have different height.
i'm playing stalker right now...its got a difficult learning curve at the start but enjoying it now
@@NatashasAdventures The pillars might be bearing piles that hit refusal (bedrock) sooner than expected.
@@yux.tn.3641 I was actually talking about the Russian movie from the 1970's. Which is rather weird.
@@NatashasAdventures Odds are they pillars are all the same length, just some of them hit bedrock at different depths.
Oh yeah, it was very nice of you to offer that guy your apple. (even though he didn't want it. lol)
Love your camera work. Some awesome shots! Thanks for sharing!
don't stop making videos Natasha if you can, I will check often to see if you have posted, you are a good woman
I live in rural Croatia and there are a lot of old ruined houses, part built houses etc. but they are mostly not entirely abandoned. Quite a lot of the houses people live in are only partly finished. Sometimes just the lower floor is completed, upstairs there are window openings with no frames, bare brickwork etc. Often the empty houses have been inherited by family members who sometimes go to cut the grass, harvest fruit trees or whatever.
Hi Natasha, just wish to offer another voice of support- those of us who follow your channel understand that you are a peaceful person with good intentions and a citizen of the world. I hope that you do not suffer too much (and wish that you didn't have to suffer at all) for what others are doing!
Please keep posting. All your subscribers support you and your videos.
I love your content. I think you are very savvy online and I’m sure you realise the horrors being committed by your crazy leader. Take care and be safe, and hope for better times.
I just really like a true Russian insight on Russia. My family and I would love to vist one day. Our countries are so much more than our fool governments.
Be safe little sister. Can’t wait to see how your productions develop! They keep getting better.
Peace
You’re stepping your games Natasha. The drone footages look really sick! You can probably film a horror movie in those zabroshka. A phenomenon in China that are similar to zabroshka would be unfinished buildings (烂尾楼) or even finished one with no one wants to purchase. Sometimes whole sections of them can even form a ghost town. No there are not caused by nuclear radiation 😅 but mostly due to poor planning and disruption of financing. And most of them are actually built quite recently en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under-occupied_developments_in_China
Is Miao a real name? Or is Ming Miao the name of your cat?
@@Raz.C maneki neko is his cat ! haha
@@Raz.C Miao苗 is an actual legit Chinese last name
Did I not see a video on YT where an entire city block or more of empty buildings was destroyed in China because of issues with the construction?
great video shes the best☣
Came here to say that I hope you are well and that you stay strong and safe in what I can only imagine is a horrific situation you and your fellow peaceful citizens are in.
Really enjoy this content, I get a real sense of the place. Thanks for this.
I loved 'The Pillars' -- I've seen actual outdoor artworks that looked worse. Great video overall of some pretty cool places.
I know exactly what you are talking about xD
I am quite impressed by your large English vocabulary. I'd say you have a bigger vocabulary than a lot of Americans LOL. Also your use of sarcasm is perfect and always cracks me up. You are doing a great job thanks for posting and showing us a different view of the world!
never stop makin videos Natasha. will always stay tuned. praying for you and loved ones safety
Really wishing you all the best in these unusual, unpleasant times, Natasha.
I could watch these historically narrated videos all day. Sometimes these types of videos stir up very interesting discussions that lead to the betterment of the community. At least the subject is brought to the table, if nothing else For those that lived during Soviet times, these buildings bring back nostalgia.
The buildings are nostalgic. Nostalgia is always present. Like hope or love or fun. Just saying…..
Have a great weekend! Stay warm….🇺🇸 ✌️ 🇷🇺 ✌️ 🇺🇦
Edit: I checked out Alyona on your site. What a beautiful voice. Thanks!
